from the self-post dept.

Yesterday I visited AppSee.com

Today I got a personalized email from their account manager :

"Hi [FirstName],

Thank you for your recent interest in Appsee.

What blackmagic are they using?

Hey newbie1010, John here, Appsee's CMO :) We don't send that email to people who don't request us to reach out to them. Could you provide me with your email so I could check our system to find out why you got that message? Have a great day! John

I'm assuming they are using Lead Forensics - I've heard of this solution before. There are a few other competing technologies, but LF is probably the most well known.

I think they do IP identification from a large number of network sites.

You fill out a form w/ company X and they're sharing data with LeadForensics, now when you visit company Y, if LeadForensics got your IP from company X, they know you visited.

did you fill up any form? or they just get your name/email out of nowhere? are you logged in on LinkedIn all the time?
